What Is Black Area In The Bronchoscopic Procedure?

Yes. I have been seeing a Pulmonary Specialist for four months now. Yeasterday, I went into the Lake Havasu Regional Hospital and she did a Bronvhialscoptic procedure. She wanted to get a good look at this area. Her response was "OH NO!!! Then she sent me to have a ct scan. I don't see her until Monday. I am concerened. I saw one of the pictures. The Left side was very pink. The right side was pure black. I have been very sick since Oct. 2010. They thought it was my lung. Why is it black and what happens now. I am having major anxiety over this and don't want to wait until Monday the 20tn for results. Michelle

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello

I can understand your concern.
There are several causes that do the mucoses of the bronchi change the color in your situation pure black.
In heavy smokers,in mining workers,persons who work in contaminated environment,but the feature of these is that the change of color is not localized as you explain in your case.
The pulmonologist during the procedure of bronchoscopy,i hope he had get a tissue sample for biopsy and the result is very important for the diagnosis and the further treatment.
So my opinion is to wait calmly the answer of the biopsy answer.

Thank you
